Final Meeting of the 10th Progressive Economists Course

Under the applause of the representatives of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung as well as from the other cooperating partners who were engaged in the project, the students received their certificates and scholarships. Afterwards the students and representatives who came together in the Institute for Security Studies (INSS) were honored with a keynote speech by Galit Cohen. Galit Cohen, who worked as the Director General of the Israel Ministry of Environmental Protection and is now the Director of the Program on Climate Change at the INSS, addressed the interplay of climate change challenges in relation to security questions. Finally, the students came together in working groups to discuss specific topics they worked on during their internships.

We at Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung wish these young leaders best of luck in the future. May they continue to use the expertise they have learnt to contribute to improving the quality of life for Israeli citizens, to create inclusive growth, to protect the environment and to reduce inequality in Israel.
